Tweak my Grow Room (pics)

4 Months in veg, 3 weeks in flower, then reverted to veg for a month and half, as of now they are 9 days into FLOWER... thats probly partially why the funky growth on front plants leaves, it was also lst'd and main stem broke but was rigged back with zip tie and wooden splint. I'm just a noob self medicating grower guys so please be easy ;-P . I use(d) Golden Tree, Pure Blend Pro Bloom, Earthworm Castings, BM soil & BM fert, blackstrap, & lots of patience... These strains I believe to be either Og Kush, GSC or some various indica

On the left T5 2ft 4lamps & a 12W Top-shelf LED , On the right a Mars Hydro 900 missing a few diodes.
As you can see in this pic ^^ there's another Mars Hydro on the floor (there too heavy atm for tent poles)
Any suggestions on my room and the two tents btw are 32x32x63x
Want to transplant these babys into the medium pots w fox-farm as of right now they are in sheisty black magic soil (boycott monsanto I know )
Please any suggestions? move my lights where>, put in that tent instead> etc... Thanks Guys! TWEaK mY GRoW'

Tweak your grow?? thanks for asking..
I don't see any air movement, should get some fresh air in there would be my next move. 4 months in veg indicates an issue.. might be air!
lemmie know

I've got 2 fans-... 1 is pretty friggin' loud I'll try to get pics/specs up. Other is just $20 clip fan. They are both on the ceiling tent on the right.

Ps I'm on 2nd floor... does elevation play a part?

1st floor 2nd floor elevation has no effect unless you got something heavy like a water red.

I'm talking like a extraction and/or intake in- line fan (sometimes called a blower) to take ambient indoor air and bring it to your plants (fresh co2(carbon dioxide)) and take away the old air and blow it outside (that is co2 deficient, too much o2(oxygen))

One uses a carbon filter to take the smell out of the air that is being blown outside.

A set-up like this changes the game as far as quality

Sounds amazing ^^ like I said I'm no where near a pro at this and I'm just trying to improve. I Have a few fans 1 is a blower I presume or thats what I like to call it as it fits the hole in the top of my tent perfectly, it is a 6in silver duct fan. Seems to do the trick. Plus I added another $20 clip fan off amazon. Both are positioned on top of the tent pointing down onto the tops of the plants. Should I move them somewhere else? Also I don't know if this was put clearly enough the first post so I wanted to give the viewer a better look at these Mars 900s I got... as they are missing some diodes ..



the 2 in flower have only been under the mars for about a week now and seem to be doing good, they at first were under the T5 but as you can see I'm using that to veg etc.
and a few more glamour shots...

starting to bud

Well since hot air crawls up in height I would recommend to blow that out of the tent at its top. 12V PC fans can do that well and are fairly cheap, power them with old/unused DC power adapters. Then you want to get another fan that rotates 90° and blows fromt he side slightly above the top of the major plants. Generally you don't want that the air just sits at the same place in the tent getting old (CO2 depleted).

How long have they bloomed until you revegged them? If there are any old budsites in the middle of the plant that, most likely, withered away then you'll have to remove that crap entirely otherwise these sites will face increased threat from mold at the end of bloom.

The OG Kush seems to need more light. For indicas their main stem is too thin for its lengths and the internodial space is too long. You can deduce that also from the number of fingers the top leaves develop - 3 on the OG Kush is too little. It should be 5 and on the next 7.

Help! Some stems are drooping and leaves falling off a little in the center although i think this is to be expected, also I've noticed some purple stems and those ones seem to be the ones that are on there way next to falling off... if this is normal please reassure me lol as i think like said above its just dried up and dead leaves. Will upload more pics later . In meantime here's some pics from a transplant i did last night on cbd crit. mass

Day 14 flower

Day 17 flower

Wait huh??.. could you please maybe use a spellchecker or something to improve your grammar? Not making a joke jus really can't understand you

perhaps this was ment for another thread....?

I was thinking that too lol i think he's lost^^... but anyways I really respect your knowledgr Kassio and have lots of questions... can't seem to get anybody to give me time of day so I've done everything so far with the help above which as you can see is slim ... please if you have time pm me.
Since I'm here...

You need to replace that light. Too much plant for a light that's not great even if it was working, which it isn't.
Its supposed to be a 400 true watt light, looks like more than half of it is not working.
In an 80cm2 tent I would get a 400w hps to get you through your grow. I cant see your extraction fan but it needs to be a good inline or squirrel cage.

How old is that Mars light with blown diodes?

Old enough.

That blown out light isn't going to do much for you. I'd suggest a 600w mh/hps with a real exhaust fan & a temp monitor to switch the fan on.

Probably a 500$ investment & it's going to raise your electric bill another 50$ a month.

I look at your set up & it's like what I did when I started. If you can spend the $$ now, it will pay off sooner, rather than later.

ok some generic thoughts:
- please only take pictures under truelight/daylight colorspectrum otherwise we're not able to see the leaf true color.
- your flowering plants look like doing the stretch rather severe (long internodial spaces plus un-symmetric placed fan leaves) although they've got up to 11 fingered leaves (good). this is most likely related to a light problem either lumens are missi, due to the change to only red light, or both. but it's impossible to tell without knowing the specs of this mars system. looking up the specs won't mean anything because lots of diodes are broken so what do you think how many lumen arrive at the top of your plants?
- if you have some CFL's in white or blue spectrum in your house you could place them in some of the corners to add some extra lumen directly to the places which are normally farthest from themain light. these will also supplement another light color. personally I use 4*23W CFL's at 6.2k each having 2000 lumen output in every corner of all my tents.
- a 400W HPS as coreywebster suggested will deliver sufficient light (aim for 40k lumens during flowering for that area) but it will also emanate lots of heat - so if you go down that road a cooltube may be necessary. without a cooltube an increased airflow inside and out of the tent could vent out excess heat but it will also distribute more revealing stench esp. late in flower - be wary!
- your seedlings do alot of stretching, too. hang this lamp much closer but not at once, do this in several steps every other day. fluorescent tube lights emit a very soft light which can be placed very closely to plants in any stage of development.

Okay was just asking in case you said under a year old as mars can repair it free under warranty, if you contact them they will also send parts to repair it for cheap. I suggest looking into that dude as your missing out on a lot of potential with those blown leds

You should put flexible ducting on the blower to move the hot air into another room or preferably outside. If outside then use a carbon filter.

$50 carbon filter 6inch by 12ish inch tall should be enough
+ducting
Or only
$10ish ducting

This will help the limiting factor which is air. Adding more light will not help if there isn't sufficient air exchange. Still.. it looks good.

my 2 cents
